One Minute Brief of the Day: Create posters to promote the ‘a brother said’ online forum & ENCOURAGe PEOPLE TO #TALKTODAY. CHECK IN. SPEAK OUT. SAVE A BROTHER.

Written By Nick Entwistle

Bands For Brothers is a grassroots movement where men can speak openly, support each other, and anonymously get things off their chest through ‘A Brother Said’ - their online comment forum where you can speak freely…just to get what’s in your head out there…and/or invite others to reply to you.

Try it… I did it yesterday… I was able to share how I was feeling anonymously and it pushed me to message a friend I haven’t spoken to in a couple of years.

The Why

EVERYTHING CHANGED
WHEN I BECAME A DAD.

Bands For Brothers was founded by Scott MacDonald — a Dad with lived experience of men's mental health. The silence, the stigma, the weight of carrying it alone.

Then two boys arrived. And everything shifted.

"I wanted them to grow up in a world where mental health is treated the same as any other ailment." No shame. No silence. No "man up." Just the same care, the same conversation, the same permission to not be okay.

So it started small — a wristband. Every penny of profit going to SAMH (Scottish Action for Mental Health), a charity Scott had previously fundraised for. One band, one conversation, one life at a time.
